    Light switch near sink
    We are remodeling our bathroom and have to relocate the light switch. The only place for it at the moment is near the sink. Is that acceptable? There is an outlet on that same wall. I wanted to assume that if outlets are allowed near a water source then light switched are as well but we are planning on selling our home in the spring and I don't want any surprises. Thanks!

    You are fine. The only place it can't be is within the shower.
